Dave the motorhome has stayed put at the campsite just outside of Split in Croatia (N43.50473 E16.52940).<\/p>\n

Jay turned 40 today, so this morning we took it easy and sat in the shade under Dave’s awning. He opened his cards and Charlie and I sang happy birthday to him.<\/p>\n

For lunch it was omelette followed by birthday cake.<\/p>\n

I checked with reception and we’d struggle to get on the bus with Charlie, so they booked a taxi for us. On my way back to Dave I nipped into the showers for a peek. They were huge and empty. Seriously about half the size of Dave per cubicle. After a bit more lazing I gathered my towel and toiletries and headed over there. But there was no water! Then I saw the coin box on the wall. This is taking it a bit far for me. Sure paying for wifi can be expected, but for a shower on a campsite you’ve already coughed up to be on – I wasn’t happy. Luckily it’s so flipping hot that a cold shower in Dave was just the trick.<\/p>\n

An airconditioned taxi ride later and we’re in Split. The old town is amazing – Jay seems to think that the original bit was built in 10 years, some UK builders could do no wrong looking here for inspiration.<\/p>\n

We’ve dodged the tour groups and found a cafe next to some free wifi. We’re making the most of not needing to drive back and having a few drinkies – well it is Jay’s 40th and a Friday!<\/p>\n

We’re off to explore and drink some more so early update as I won’t make any sense in two more wines time!<\/p>\n
